If he's a citizen or resident? Yes. African American.

Yes. Anyone that came from Africa and now resides in America is an African-American, this includes whites.
African-American is frequently used to represent people in the black community that once came from Africa but that is not the only definition.

No. "African American" is a race, not a designation of where someone is from. Think of it this way...If I move to Africa and have a son in Africa, that doesn't make him african American

If he was born in Africa and then moved to America and gained citizenship - then yes he is African American and your point duly noted.

In a true sense yes, if he is a citizen he is a African American.

Does it really matter? He is your sons soccer coach. Why do you need to group him by skin color?

Or EuropeanAfricanAmerican. Yes, being PC is getting out of hand and a major pain in the butt.

He's just your son's soccer coach. Nothing more, nothing less

He's probably of Dutch decent.
But why does it matter?

Does it matter? Consider him to be human.
